The taxi drove for nearly an hour and stopped at a small intersection. Xishan Botanical Garden is naturally on a mountain, and if you want to go up, you must pass this path. Xu Jinghao got out of the car, and another unbearable heat wave hit her. She ran towards the path almost subconsciously. There are lush trees around the path, and the branches and leaves are intertwined like a big umbrella to block the sun. The surrounding area exudes the unique smell of soil and plants, which not only makes the summer heat dissipate, but also gives Xu Jinghao a sense of intimacy.
"Maybe I was also a plant in my previous life." Xu Jing had such a whimsical thought for no reason. While walking on the path, she naturally would not forget her promise to contact Wen Yufan. The first call she made was that the phone could not be connected. She looked at the signal on her phone. If it was there or not, it seemed that it would disappear at any time.
Xu Jinghao frowned and could only continue to try to call while walking towards the botanical garden. When she walked out of the path, Xu Jinghao was sweating profusely. She looked up and saw the dilapidated botanical garden gate. Almost at the same time, a shrill scream came from the botanical garden, followed by calls for help and cries. It lasted only half a minute, and everything returned to silence. Xu Jinghao had not contacted Wen Yufan at this time and had no idea what was going on inside. At this time, she was flustered and scared. She stood at the door and still did not have the courage to go in. But just doing nothing like this made Xu Jinghao feel more and more frightened, so she made a stupid decision and continued to call Wen Yufan. But this time, the call actually got connected.
Xu Jing hurriedly put the phone to her ear, but what she heard was Wen Yufan's cry for help. This cry for help was not just on the mobile phone. Xu Jinghao could even hear it clearly. The source of the sound was not far ahead.
"Wen Yufan! What happened!" Xu Jinghao asked loudly into her mobile phone.
The phone hung up after calling for help. No matter how much Xu Jinghao tried to call, it became unreachable again. She plucked up the courage and looked into the depths of the botanical garden, which was filled with various trees, blocking the sunlight and becoming darker as she went deeper. In this deathly silence, Xu Jinghao heard the long-lost voice again. It seemed like a giant python was swimming in the jungle, its scales scraping across the trees, making a secret and vicious "thrust" sound. The woods ahead suddenly shook violently. Xu Jinghao's heart almost rose to her throat, and her first reaction was to turn around and run away.
A figure jumped out of the woods and ran towards the door. Xu Jinghao saw clearly that it was Wen Yufan. Wen Yufan described him as being in a state of embarrassment, covered in blood, with only a bloody piece of cloth left below his left shoulder, and a mobile phone tightly clutched in his right hand. Xu Jinghao didn't know whether she was frightened by Wen Yufan's appearance and her old illness relapsed. She felt severe pain in the back of her head as if it was exploding. Her consciousness went blank for a moment and she could hardly stand.
Wen Yufan was overjoyed when he saw Xu Jinghao. Just as he was about to say something to her, he suddenly looked past her and behind her, with great fear on his face. Xu Jinghao noticed the change in Wen Yufan's expression and quickly looked behind her. Except for the path she came from, nothing else existed.
The moment Xu Jinghao turned around, she heard the sound of breaking wind, like a thick whip being thrown out from the depths of the trees, followed by Wen Yufan yelling. When Xu Jinghao saw Wen Yufan again, he fell to the ground and half of his body returned to the bushes. Wen Yufan screamed like a slaughtering pig and tried to support the ground with his elbows. It seemed that something was wrapping him around and dragging him back. A deep furrow was plowed into the ground by Wen Yufan's elbow, but the upper half of his body was still submerged in the woods, leaving only his head and one arm.
Wen Yufan looked at Xu Jinghao again, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally threw the phone towards her. Wen Yufan let out his final roar: "Revenge me!" In the blink of an eye, he lost the support of his arms and was completely swallowed up by the woods, and there was a series of heart-breaking bones breaking sounds.
Fortunately, the headache only lasted for a short time. Xu Jinghao did not dare to hesitate after hearing Wen Yufan's words, and hurriedly picked up her phone and ran away. The moment she turned around, she saw a figure appearing in the corner of her eye where Wen Yufan disappeared.
Xu Jinghao didn't have time to think about it, and the strong fear drove her to run wildly.
A fat and hunched body emerged from the bushes. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to chase Xu Jinghao, but looked coldly at her leaving back. A scarlet tongue licked his lips, revealing yellow teeth. The insidious laughter rang out in the botanical garden, spreading to every hidden corner that no one knew about.
"What the hell is that?!"
Until she returned home, Xu Jinghao still felt shrouded in fear. She finally recalled that the man she saw in the bushes must be Lao Luo. Apart from him, there would be no other person with such a fat and hunched figure. But this made Xu Jinghao even more confused. What caused the screams in the woods and the injuries on Wen Yufan's body... Could it be that Lao Luo is hiding some terrible monster in the botanical garden
Her thoughts became more and more confusing, and Xu Jinghao finally noticed the mobile phone in her hand. Wen Yufan threw this to himself before he died. He must have recorded the entire incident. At this time, a question flashed through Xu Jinghao's mind. Wen Yufan had the chance to escape, so why did he stop when he saw her? Even when you finally threw the phone to yourself, was there still a hesitant expression
Her finger had already clicked on the video, and Xu Jing had no time to think about it, all her energy was focused on the phone in her hand. The light from the mobile phone screen shone on Xu Jinghao's face. As the screams came out, Xu Jinghao's expression became extremely frightened, and this fright was also mixed with an expression of disbelief.
"How could such a thing happen... The so-called snake turned out to be..." Xu Jinghao muttered to herself, unable to help but tremble all over. The video was not over yet, so Xu Jing mustered up the courage to continue watching.
Only Lao Luo was left standing between the trees on the screen, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking. The screen of the mobile phone flickered, and a ringtone rang faintly. At this moment, Lao Luo turned his attention to the camera of the mobile phone, and then the video went black. Xu Jinghao understood that it was because of her phone call that Wen Yufan was discovered and suffered such bad luck. It was Xu Jinghao who indirectly killed Wen Yufan.
Throwing the phone aside, Xu Jinghao hugged her head and huddled into the sofa. Even in such a hot weather, she still felt chills all over. She had never seen anything so weird. If she hadn't been an insider, she would have thought the video was faked. After all, this is too incredible!
As time passed by, Xu Jing finally regained her composure, staring at the phone on the table, thinking about what to do next.
"Avenge me!"
Wen Yufan's words rang in her ears, Xu Jing felt like she was waking up from a dream, and said to herself: "Yes! Call the police! As long as the police see this video, they will definitely catch Lao Luo! By then..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Jinghao was suddenly stunned. She tilted her head and thought about something, and then she laughed loudly. At this moment, Xu Jinghao's cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was Lao Luo calling.
Xu Jinghao was not surprised by this. She picked up her phone in a leisurely manner and said with a smile: "Manager Luo, good evening!"
Just before answering the phone, Xu Jinghao suddenly realized that she had finally caught Lao Luo's hand. As long as this amulet is in his hand, even if Lao Luo is a devil, he will still have to obey his orders. In the future, let alone the position of deputy manager, he will even be the general manager. Once Lao Luo's value is squeezed out, revenge for those victims is just a matter of convenience. Although the scene in the video is weird and terrifying, the person who should really worry about him at this time is not himself, but Lao Luo, who had everything filmed.
Lao Luo's voice was not as nervous as expected, and he actually said slowly: "From your tone, you seem to know something."
"It's just some small things. Manager Luo has so many things to do every day, but he can still think of me, a humble citizen." Xu Jinghao suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and tried not to let herself get too carried away.
"It is indeed a small matter." Lao Luo smiled, "Compared to this, I have a bigger secret that I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Xu Jing asked confidently, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.
